... 1. Jerome wants to find out which is the favorite dessert for the students in his middle school. He surveys five students in his homeroom and reports the results. Is his sample a random sample that would be valid to determine the favorite dessert for the middle school? Why or why not? 2. Sandy wants ...

Estimating µ with Large Samples:
... estimate of that parameter. We use x bar (sample mean) as a point estimate for µ (the population mean) and s (the sample standard deviation) as a point estimate for σ (the population standard deviation. For large samples of size n > 30, σ≈s is a good estimate, for most practical purposes. Before we ...
